Thursday, September 30, 2010 In 1995, The Iowa City Public Library established the annual Carol Spaziani Intellectual Freedom Festival to honor Carol\u2019s 26-year career at ICPL and life-long commitment to the freedom of ideas. Carol believes that the public library\u2019s role is to be a resource and a forum for an individual\u2019s pursuit and expression of diverse points of view.<\/p>\n All programs are free and open to the public.<\/p>\n 2010 Carol Spaziani Intellectual Freedom Festival programs are generously funded through an award from the Freedom to Read Foundation (FTRF), via its Judith F. Krug Memorial Fund. The Freedom to Read Foundation was established in 1969 as a First Amendment legal defense organization affiliated with the American Library Association.<\/p>\n From Library News & Events<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Join Iowa City celebrities and Working Group Theatre and celebrate your freedom to read during Banned Books Week.
